A warm, relatable picture book about perfectionism, mistakes, and the courage to try again.
Murphy wants to be perfect. Not just good. Perfect.
At school, that means having the right answer, doing every activity correctly, and making sure every picture turns out just the way he imagined. But when Murphy blurts out the wrong answer, freezes at Center Time, and cannot bring himself to start a drawing, being perfect starts to feel exhausting.
As his day unravels, Murphy begins to discover that making a mistake does not mean he has failed. Mistakes are part of learning, growing, and trying again.
Murphy Makes a Mistake is a reassuring picture book for children who worry about getting things wrong or put pressure on themselves to do everything perfectly. With a relatable school setting and a lovable cat character, the story gives parents, teachers, and caregivers a natural way to talk about perfectionism, fear of failure, confidence, and resilience.
It's a supportive read-aloud for ages 4 to 8 that reminds young readers they do not have to be perfect to be proud of themselves.

Becky Funk is a parent communication coach who helps moms build the kind of connection with their teens that makes kids actually want to talk to them. A recovering perfectionist herself, Becky knows firsthand how the pressure to "do it right" can follow someone from childhood all the way into adulthood...and right into parenting.That pressure is what inspired her debut children's book, Murphy Makes a Mistake, the story of an anxious, perfectionist cat learning that mistakes don't make him bad, they make him brave. The book is based on Becky's real cat, Murphy, who is every bit as anxious (and lovable) as he appears on the page.Becky has raised two sons, now grown young men, and draws on both her coaching work and her own parenting journey to help families move away from perfectionism and toward real connection, one honest conversation at a time.She lives with her husband, Tim, their anxious cat Murphy, and Charlie, a certified therapy cat who gets most of the attention around the house. Murphy Makes a Mistake is finally giving Murphy his turn in the spotlight.
